The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 127

Luo Qingci felt a pang in her chest and said, "Why do I sense a bit of regret in your tone?"

The system paused, then responded in a low voice, "Nonsense. Why would I be regretful? Do you know how impactful this situation is for me?"

Luo Qingci pondered for a moment, her expression becoming subtle. Her ears turned red, and she cleared her throat softly.

"So, is there any harm in her current state?" Luo Qingci looked at Ruan Li with concern. Ruan Li didn't look well at all.

The system was silent for a moment before speaking, "She will be fine, but suppressing these negative emotions will be very painful for her. As for you, if she can't calm down, she might accidentally hurt you."

Luo Qingci furrowed her brows with a hint of worry, "Once she's possessed, is there a way to reverse it?"

"Ordinarily, once someone falls into demonic possession, they are thoroughly corrupted. It's already difficult for her to control herself in this situation. Moreover, it's easier to fall into evil than to turn back to good. Even if she can restrain herself, as long as the demonic energy inside her isn't cleared, it will keep finding ways to invade."

Luo Qingci felt a chill in her heart. The situation Ruan Li faced was so complex and dangerous. If she truly lost control due to demonic possession, solving the current problems with the dragon clan would be extremely difficult. Furthermore, she truly didn't want Ruan Li to become a mindless demon.

Ruan Li had been so earnest and soft-hearted in the past. Even after enduring suffering, she maintained a pure heart, like a precious pearl in the vast sea, drawing affection from others.

It was precisely because of this Ruan Li that, after discovering the mission target was her, Luo Qingci didn't feel pain but rather some joy.

Because Ruan Li had encountered so much and was so precious, Luo Qingci had tried her utmost to protect her, wanting her to be happy and safe.

She had accompanied Ruan Li through so many struggles, overcoming numerous setbacks. She didn't want all her efforts to be in vain and have Ruan Li fall into the mire.

Moreover, she knew very well that Ruan Li had been resisting with all her might. As her mentor, her most trusted and beloved Chi Qing, she had to help her.

"So, as long as the demonic energy can be purified, Ah Li can recover, right?" Luo Qingci, always quick-witted, grasped the key point in the system's brief words.

"That's the case, but purifying demonic energy is easier said than done. Now that Ruan Li has entered the demonic path and successfully corrected her internal flaws to restore her true form, given time, she might soon break through to the Nascent Soul stage and advance to the Separation stage, with her strength approaching the Small Perfection stage. Even if you recover to the Small Perfection stage, you wouldn't be able to suppress her demonic energy."

Luo Qingci felt a shiver in her heart, "Is there really no other way?"

The system looked at Luo Qingci, then glanced at Ruan Li, whose face alternated between pale and flushed, with cold sweat continuously pouring from her forehead. Clearly in pain, Ruan Li was still struggling with the demonic energy inside her, unwilling to lose control.

It also remembered the evil thoughts and the words it had heard that day. Ruan Li had said she was sorry, but in reality, it was she who should apologize. She had wanted to protect her but hadn't been able to provide the warm care and affection like Luo Qingci did now, leaving her mistreated by the world and ultimately disheartened.
